Glanz moving magnet cartridges


Hi,

I have just acquired an old Glanz G5 moving magnet cartridge. However, I cannot find out any details about this or the Glanz range or, even the company and its history.

Can anyone out there assist me in starting to piece together a full picture?

Any experiences with this or other Glanz's; web links; set up information etc would be warmly received. Surely someone knows something!

Thanks in hope

Hi Timeltel,

Thanks for the link, it fits well into these sources: http://www.vinylengine.com/search_results.php?cx=partner-pub-3664363573068202%3Aic4isxra6dt&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Glanz&sa=Search.

Have you seen any of the models going? I believe the MFG 71L is the closest to the G7 - with only slightly lower performance statistics. I'd be interested in hearing anyone's view on its performance. As I think I've said, the G7 seems to me to be at the pinnacle of MM/MI technology and must still be (or will at some point 'become') available. I'm keen to hear the response when someone else lays their hands and then ears on one.

As always...
Dear Professor& Dgob, The marking of the resp. models is on
the stylus by both: Glanz and Astatic. This may mean that
the corpus (body) or the 'generator' is the same at least by
the first three in the row. Considering the fact that
the styli are not 'astonishing' (Shibata by Astatic,line
contact by Glanz) the only explanation for their sound
difference 'must' be the cantilever. I am most intriqued
by Vetteron's 61. If he wants me to believe him he need to
post to me some pictures(grin). My, uh,'Italian connection'
is the proud owner of the box only. If Vetterone needs the
box I will be happy to ask my Italian friend for the 'treasure'.

Hi All,

At 33,000 readers, I hope this thread inspires others among you to explore the G5 and G7 cartridges. I know that one amongst our numbers now has the former and I look forward to hearing his impressions once set-up and run in optimisation has been achieved. Either way, it will be good to have company.

As always...
